the attackers were coordinating
their efforts.
“These are localized,
decentralized attacks by those
who were part of the old
regime. I don’t see a national
effort across Iraq,” McKiernan
said Wednesday. “I don’t see
any pattern of centralized com
mand and control over these
incidents.”
He said the spate of attacks
signifies a last-ditch effort by
Saddam’s supporters — not a
gathering resistance movement.
“I see it as the completion
of the removal of Saddam
Hussein’s regime,” McKiernan
said at a news conference in
Baghdad. “They don’t want a
democratic Iraq to succeed
because they don’t have a
role in it.”
In Fallujah and the neigh
boring cities of Ramadi and
Habaniyah, the streets were
quiet Wednesday as soldiers
from the 3rd Infantry Division
went on patrol. Residents went
about their business, passing
American forces without
incident.
The road between Baghdad
and Fallujah was crowded with
U.S. Army trucks moving west.
Anger in Fallujah grew in
late April, when confrontations
between residents and American
forces left 18 Iraqis dead and at
least 78 wounded. Residents
accuse U.S. troops of using
excessive force and of not
respecting Islamic practices.
As troops moved into
Fallujah, other American
infantrymen immediately began
setting up shop at Habaniyah Air
Base, built by the British in the
early 1950s.

I see it as the
completion of the

Hussem s regime.
— David McKiernan
commander of U.S.
ground troops in Iraq
Habaniyah grew up around
the air base, where abandoned
Soviet fighter jets and cargo
planes still sit on the runway,
slowly deteriorating. Uniforms
left at the base have the insignia
of Republican Guard troops, and
hundreds of gas masks litter the
barracks.

notably the collapse of an initiative by Bill Clinton
at the end of his presidency.
“I’m the master of low expectations,” Bush
said. “We accomplished what I hoped we’d
accomplish.”
The summit, marking Bush’s biggest step into
Mideast peacemaking, revived optimism in a
region seething with suspicion and skepticism
aggravated by the U.S.-led war against Iraq.
Sharon’s government already had accepted the
peace plan in principle despite deep reservations,
and Abbas already had pledged to crack down on
violence.
Bush welcomed Sharon’s public commitment
that “we will immediately begin to remove unau
thorized outposts,” a painful step for the prime
minister since he is an architect of Jewish settle
ment expansion in the West Bank and Gaza Strip.
The president, flying to Qatar later, told reporters,
“He said he would dismantle them. We now
expect him to dismantle them.”
The issue of Israeli outposts and settlements is
one of the most divisive points between Israel and
the Palestinians. As for whether Sharon’s promise
went far enough, Secretary of State Colin Powell
said, “It’s a good start. It will show to the
Palestinian people and to the world that Israel is
prepared to do things that they were not prepared
to do before this meeting.”
Without their government’s approval, Israeli
settlers have placed trailers or tents on hilltops,
some next to existing settlements, in Palestinian
areas. The unauthorized outposts intensified the
Palestinians’ conflict with Israel during which
more than 750 Israelis have died, including about
350 from suicide bombings. During the same peri
od, more than 2,350 Palestinians have been killed.
Abbas spoke of the suffering of the Palestinians
at the hands of Israel but went on to say, “We do
not ignore the suffering of the Jews throughout
history. It is time to bring all this suffering to an
end.”
“Some amazing things were said,” Bush
remarked later. “The prime minister of the
Palestinian Authority talked about the suffering of
the Jewish people. The prime minister of Israel
talked about a Palestinian state.”

was located northeast of
Fallujah, and many military-age
men in the cities, some in very
good physical condition, have
scowled or made obscene ges
tures toward U.S. troops.
“You can tell who used to be
in the military,” said Capt. Chris
Carter, commander of A
Company, 3rd Battalion, 7th
Infantry Regiment, which is
occupying the air base.
At dawn Wednesday, the 2nd
Brigade loaded 88 Abrams tanks
and 44 Bradley Fighting
Vehicles onto cargo trucks and
dropped them off outside the
two cities. The soldiers then
drove the combat vehicles to
their new positions and began
establishing their bases.
There wasn’t much to work
with.
Most of the buildings had
been looted after Iraqi troops
abandoned the base, with almost
everything that could be
removed — including light
switches and door frames —
stolen.
The troops were greeted by
curious shepherds, grazing
sheep and goats on the base
grounds. The soldiers began
cleaning the old tin-roofed bar
racks to use themselves.
“It won’t be that bad, once
we get some fans blowing
through here,” Carter said.
